By now you've probably watched Dane Burman's Cold War part and seen how hard he is on a handrails and the professional security sworn to protect them. This is not an act! He really is that much of a jerk! We catch up with this Australian bad-arse, post-game, to talk cover, last part, Nyjah and 2013 SOTY predictions. Congrats, Burman!

'I wanted to cry I was so happy.'

First of all, have you recovered from your Thrasher cover yet?

I'm getting there. My ankles have been pretty shitty, just because of the years of abuse. I think that 50-50 was just the icing on the cake for a few months. My right knee has been giving me grief lately too. I don't know where that came from though.

What did it feel like to ride away from that?

Amazing. I wanted to cry I was so happy. My body was on the verge of giving up. So when I made that it was a pretty victorious feeling. Haha!

Are you ready to apologize to the skaters of Philly yet?

Haha, never! Take no prisoners or something.

Yes, that's pee you smell. Get back up, Burman!

'You know, I should really film this for Youtube so the Element Euro team can put it on their Facebooks ...'

'We both worked and put as much heart into it as each other so we both earned it.'

You are the first pro skater to have the biggest trick of their career premier on a teenage girl's Vine account. To what can you attribute this daring, forward-thinking media plan?

I might be. Haha! That was pretty heart breaking. So much of my heart and soul and time and money poured into that trick with the intent of it being a surprise and it got blown out the day after I did it. It didn't take away from how good it felt to do it, but it still hurt.

Who's that man you are smacking around in your video part? What lead up to that slap attack and what was the aftermath?

Some security guard. I had just landed on a back lip shove and that dude showed up, parked in the way and tried to stand at the bottom of the rail. I just tried to show him who had more or less to lose and he got shook and got out the way and I got a few more tries in and made it.

So close, yet so far.

The good homies! Thanks Philly!

Who or what do you intend to slap for your next video part?

Hahaha! Who knows? Don't want to blow out more tricks.

So did you get last part or what? What's the deal?

Tommy and I got last part. He's last on hard copy and on the Thrasher site. I'm last at premiers and on I-tunes. The consensus was that we both worked and put as much heart into it as each other so we both earned it. I like it.

Frontside feeble, top-side style.

Switch crooks with no foot flap. Harder than you might think!

'Nyjah is a really good guy. Super nice and loves skating. Can't hate him for that.'

Is James Brockman a great skater or the greatest skater?

He's the greatest. Zero is his only sponsor. And Vol 4 have just started helping him out and he kills himself for the love of skating harder than most dudes 5 or 6 years younger than him and ten times more paid than him ever would.

In This Issue Skater of the Year 2014, Wes Kremer, floats onto the April cover with a sculptural Ollie to fakie and the party continues inside as Wes and his best hemmies go loco in Gran Canaria. The yearly T-Eddys continue to shine and shun; Bones penetrates the language barrier in Poland; The Midwest gets tested by Birdhouse and a Skate Loteria photo feature helps you brush up on your Español. Muy bueno. Add this one to your collection.
